Introduction The material examined for this study is deposited in the
following collections:
Lucanus Scopoli (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) presents as the type genus – CLJZ: Collection of Lin-Jingzhi, Taipei
of Lucanidae (Coleoptera) that members distributed in Nearctic, – CZZH: Collection of Zhan-Zhihong, Nanjing
Oriental and Palearctic Regions. However, the highest biodiversity of
this genus is in eastern Asia, and many species are difficult to identify – NAU: Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing
because of similar morphological characteristics. For the fauna of
China, Huang & Chen (2010, 2012, and 2017) listed around 55 Results
species, and nearly 25% of this genus were reported from Tibet,
China. In 2019, during our friend’s scientific field trip to South Tibet, Genus Lucanus Scopoli, 1763
he found an interesting species of stag beetle and managed to collect (Vernacular name: 深山锹甲属)
some specimens. After receiving those specimens and comparing it Lucanus shulini sp. nov.
with the allied species, we found that it is an undescribed species and
decided to publish it. By letting the collector known and agreed, we (Vernacular name: 卞氏深山锹)
decided to use the first author’s grandfather, a soldier who once (Fig. 1-3, 7, 9, 11)
protected the border of China, for the name of this species. This new ZooBank: http://zoobank.org/0CE2AC6B-55B8-497F-B64F-7EFB2BEA7DD9
species, Lucanus shulini, shares a closer relationship with Lucanus
